- Trinidad and Tobago should be on your Travel List and here is why
I spent a couple of weeks in Trinidad and every experience was as surprising as the last.
From the food to the people to the music, here is why you should consider adding Trinidad and Tobago to your travel list 2024 and not just for the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2024
Visit Port of Spain, the capital and if you want some nature, try Maracas Bay Beach or mount st benedict hiking trail

Thanks do much for sharing my home country
@@ShekinahGalindo It is my pleasure
@@ShekinahGalindohi i love for travel
Philis I am smiling watching this video. You really showcased us in our true form. Trinidad and Tobago is a melting pot of so many cultures. Keep sharing your travels dear❤
Caverne thank you for letting me see this side of Trinidad 💙
@travel_with_phil you are most welcome dear.
Next time you come for Carnival
Thanks for showcasing Trinidad and Tobago.
The Parliament was temporarily housed in that building while the 'Red House' was being refurbished.
Thanks for the info! Makes more sense now, that building as a parliament just didn't make match at all
Another nice video from your hand. I really admire your editing skills. And now I want to visit Trinidad even more than before.
Well, if my editing skills can make you want to visit Trinidad even more, then I must be doing something right! 😉 But seriously, it's an incredible place and I'm glad I could capture its beauty in my video.
@@travel_with_philThank you ❤🇹🇹
Editing skills???? You gotta be kidding right?????
Hey Phillis, thank u for being here u are most welcome anytime,glad u enjoy everything especially the tasty food ❤❤🎉🎉
It was my pleasure and my weight gain can attest to the good food😂
Honey I always love your smile. It spreads positivity. ❤❤❤
😊 thank you 💙💙💙💙
There is NO food like TRINI food !
Glad you enjoyed it !
Great video.
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Glad you enjoyed! And I could talk about Trini food all day😄
I am happy that you visited my country, you did a wonderful job. You showcased a little more than African Tigress did although she said she would be back for the Carnival. You also gained a new subscriber.
Thank you for the sub and I am happy you liked it
What you need to understand about Trinidad & Tobago is that it is a land of many diverse cultures, and most importantly, the people of each culture do not stick to their own culture/race. People of every culture enjoy and FULLY participate in every other culture including music, dance, art, food, religious festivals and also down to inter-racial relationships and marriages LOL. Thus, you will find a massive inter-mixture of races and cultures. My mom who is of African descent was mixed with Indian and Scottish. She could cook a mean Chinese or Indian dish, not just the African dishes.
It's hard to be racist when your aunts, uncles, cousins and even your brothers and sisters are of different races! If you agress, smash the I❤Cultural Diversity button below:

TT is amazing
Yes so true.. I'm half indian,half chinese but have Indian, Chinese,Creole,Spanish and Syrian in my family 👍🇹🇹❤️

Love the video. Hopefully there's a part 2 showing where you visited in the Sister Isle of Tobago - my hometown
It is actually the next video coming in a few days
Wow, this is the first time I've seen a travel vlog about Trinidad and Tobago. Keep it up, Phyllis! Thanks for sharing this 💕
Where were you girl there lots of travel vlogs of Trinidad and Tobago on TH-cam especially carnival time
I am so happy to have shared it with you ❤️
There are lots of videos about different areas in Trinidad and Tobago lots of Adventures and places to visit hope you look them up ❤🇹🇹
The fact that I failed to complete the Mt. St Ben trail and she considers it easy to moderate 😭😭😭😭
Hehe, it's because I hike and run a lot 🙊 If you go back a few times you'll start to notice how easier it gets
Thank you for coming to Trinidad and Tobago please come again and I'm very happy that you enjoyed yourself ones again thanks ❤❤❤ we love having you hear ❤❤❤
It was my pleasure experiencing your beautiful country ❤️ ♥️
@@travel_with_phil Thank you I truly appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your reply.
Always welcome
Thank you for visiting TNT I see you have enjoyed it ,do come again blessings blessings to you 🙏😃👍😻🇹🇹
Thank you, blessings to you too, I really enjoyed myself in TNT. I am sure I'll visit again some day
I love my country a lot of people even outside of T&T.I don’t like how people dislike if,stay in your own.
I love T&T, however you can't be putting out information that only shows the beauty... it's falsely dangerous as you should know the dangers that surround the island.
I think it is important to show the beauty too, they are so many outlets already showing the bad side which I acknowledge in this video but I wanted to showcase my experience and this was it. I owe it to all the people who were kind to me and made me feel at home so far away from home.
@@travel_with_philYou did a wonderful job darling
@@felicous Do you tell all the TH-camrs that? When they visit countries of the world which the majority of them also has crime? She did an excellent job. If you are one who just jumps on a plane and go to a country without doing your research that's on you. She did her research. That part is yours to do not hers. Leave her in peace.
@felishrodrigs2722 she actually was advised not to travel to Trinidad because of the gun violence we experience here. Philis did put it in the video to warn people, however she showed our beauty.
She took advise from people who live here and captured the Trinidad and Tobago most people know and prefer.
Blessings.
Thank you for coming to my beautiful twin island county 🇹🇹
My pleasure! It was such a great surprise
thank you for showcasing our country and our beautiful people and culture its all true thanks ❤
My pleasure! I share what I experience in my travels and your country surprised me so much
Great job done
Thank you ❤
This is a Awesome video shirt and sweet nice job Phil
Thank you. Glad you like it!
Great melting pot of cultures from the African , indian , chinese to the lebanese , syrian , indigenous - to spanish/french /other european groups that make up TnT's vibrant stature. Nice video of the twin islands 🙌
Thank you. I had a great time in Trinidad and I wanted to share that experience and the diversity is just out of this world
Any tips on where to stay and getting around to the beaches and different sceneries?
Greetings from India 🙏🌹❤️ I now know more about this must visit part of the West Indies as we call it.
Hello from the other side💙💙💙 I am happy to have brought this beautiful place all the way to you
Trinidad is safe to travel just like any other destination, there are precautions any responsible traveler should take. Speak to locals or find a local guide if doing a solo trip.
That is true, I am happy I visited
I first travelled there myself in 2008. Best decision. Just know what you are doing during carnival. You will meet new friends and you end up liming together during carnival and years to come.
Trinidad is special indeed
enjoyed the video. I just met someone in the United States that's from Zimbabwe. You should come to America, I would love to show you around.
Maybe one day! Thank you so much
Peace and love Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 I'm coming soon
You will really love it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did
As a Trini, you are welcome, you will not regret it the most Amazing people in the world, a melting pot of cultures, the greatest food, the friendliness off my people , and if you come for CARNIVAL, you party till you drop.😂
Can’t wait to go ! Thanks for this amazing video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
The people are very warm ✅
Extremely. I had such a great time there ☺️
Whaoooooo, a beautiful island.
My friends Caverne and Malachi - The Mochaches have always talked about this great island, now I see the real beauty.
I will visit soon.
Caverne and Malachi, you are great guides!
Ahhhh, thank you my Kenyan sister. Kindly share Philis channel with as many of your friends and family. She does really good travel content. View her other videos and see how adventurous she is, a true inspiration ❤
It is a very beautiful island and I am happy I had the most kindhearted people as my guides
@cavernedmochache4455 Thank you 💙
Is it now possible to take a water taxi from Port of Spain to San Fernando? How much does a ride cost, and how long is it?
Yes the water taxi operates multiple times a day, it was 30TT one way and takes about an hour
Its $15.00 to go and $15.00 to return. $30.00 in total.
On a boat to come south,but still didn't show no part of san fernando
There is a full video dedicated to San Fernando here th-cam.com/video/mUmmjPyGjd4/w-d-xo.html
👍
Culture and Connection are very powerful human tools and the more diverse the better to interact. Good to connect in TT @Phil @Carvene I will be there soon.
Absolutely! Diversity in culture and connection enrich our lives in so many ways. Travelling is so magical
One ting yuh forgot to do in order to complete your trip was to go see the Pitch Lake in La Brea .
I will have to put that on my list for the next time 🙂
Great perspective of my country . Yes, we are a calalloo(mixture). After Brazil, we have the mixture .
So true! Calaloo, I love that reference. TT is super interesting
TNT🇹🇹
♥️
Just a question. Is Kenya good and safe to visit?
Kenya is safe, you just need to know how to maneuver yourself like anywhere in the world.
I have been to Kenya twice, I am from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you for your question! Kenya is an amazing place to visit, with friendly people, stunning landscapes, and incredible wildlife and beaches. I highly recommend it! However, like every other destination in the world, you have to be aware of your surroundings while traveling. It is also a large country so some places aren't recommended for travel.
Just came across your channel for the first time you did a great job on my country thank you I subscribed
@@Lena-wm9ie thank you, I am happy you liked it
No you don't have to explain. Trinidadians will kmow from the look that you are either mixed or perhaps you are married to an 'indian' person.
As for explaining to foreigners, they dont really care what you are mixed with or married to not if they are world class travellers. They will note the difference in that they look at diversity and yhry do their research before travelling. Of course, seeing is believing.
Everyone seems so nice! I would love to go someday with my boyfriend. Do you know what the attitudes are like towards lgbt people?
I love your video but do have to clarify that we are in South America. And a person of half indian,half creole( african) is called a dougla🇹🇹❤️
I just learned recently that you are in South America. Thanks for the info.
@@travel_with_phil U are welcome.
Tobago is good as a solo.
I agree, that is why it has its own video here: th-cam.com/video/kSL4LSiKKyI/w-d-xo.html
Where are you from tho
I am from Kenya
15:30
The food was absolutely delicious
You could say T and T for short lol
T and T for short sounds cool, right? Thanks for the comment! I must remember next time
Love your channel ! Saw your Grenada blog. I am a Canadian traveller. Hit me up. I am from Vancouver Island 🏝️
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
I been trying hard too but it seems my shorts get thousands of views but videos dont. Wonder how to boost it
@beautifulvancouverisland some of my shorts do that too. I think it's about consistency and just trying different things to see what works. Dm me on insta
@@travel_with_phil aww i dont use instagram. Messenger? I love the fact you travelled to Caribbean such amazing world
Weird b/c its not the parliament building. It only housed the Parliament temporarily while the Red House was being repaired.
Yeah but you have to admit it was an odd building to house the parliament
@@travel_with_phil What? How so? I do not know of any standard for housing any parliament temporarily.
@curtd5153 Usually, they are old looking serious buildings 😆
@@travel_with_philtechnically you are right; it was the official parliament building at that time
💖❤Alicia J.💋
She is a sweetheart 💕
That island might be interesting to visit if you have nowhere else to go. Trinidad is small, so you will get through it pretty quickly. Everything looks the same as landscaping and maintenance is nonexistent, so there is wild bush growing everywhere. Although the people went to school, the intellengence level of the man on the street is extremely low compared to the rest of those little caribbean islands. The "Trini" lol thinks its food is amazing, but the food in the caribbean is all the same with minor differences. It's all rice and peas with stew or green curry meat. Macaroni and cheeze, which they make into a pie and ground provision. Just starch and protein. The place is a "CULINARY DESERT" but the natives grew up on that kind of thing, so they believe its the greatest food on the planet.
People are generally proud of their heritage as its the only one they will ever have. But you know how the mother of a convicted criminal will always stand up for her wicked offspring? That's the same with the Trini and their little piece of land that broke off the Venezuelan peninsula. If you like rubbish and fakery smothred in hypoxcracy and lies, then that island will suit you real good.
Typical trini again, never have anything good to say about their country. Eyes envious of other countries but blind to the beauty right at home. You come off as an untraveled fool with no sense of perspective for life. I hope you work through this resentment bro
Thank you for this great videos of Trinidad and Tobago. I love it. The crime situation in Trinidad is big business men who bringing in the guns and the drugs and using the young people to do there dirty work but soon we will get rid of that. All in all I enjoy your video. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching, I enjoyed my stay in the country a lot
Wish you were here for carnival. You would really enjoy your self of our culture.
There are gangleaders with millions of dollars living in big mansions. They are the ones that bring in the guns and drugs . Gangs get drugs on consignment they don't need to have money to get the drugs all they need is a connect they take the drugs and pay later.
Typical of these crime issues... Always rich folks causin trouble for a beautiful people.
T typed fast, if y’all don’t like just ?
You camera man is tired
Haha, we'll give him a break after this shot!
I know you're trying to gain traction for your video but please, stop using and baiting your viewers into crap intros. I'm not here for it.
My country is relatively safe for any kind of traveller.
Our island is beautiful, however we must be honest gun violence is SUPER high here, so her title is honest
@@cavernedmochache4455Trinis are so negative, Jamaica or even The Bahamas have a crime problem but you don’t hear them discouraging visitors. Travelers have to be wary and informed visiting almost any country.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration but this was my honest impression
@@quriuskid thank you🙏
@@travel_with_phil Then keep your ass home. Point blank period. That's my Trini opinion.
Stop fooling the public Trinidad and Tobago is high crime. I was born in that country stop it stop it.
Yes count yr luck because soon enough Gangster watching u 😮
God is always watching me
She left the island months now. As a travel vlogger number safety 1 rule you never let people know where you are at any given time
Why you all does talk shit so!!! Where you from?
Coolie babbling
@@stillirise7813 They said they would make this country ungovernable because they are not at the helm. They say Dr Keith Rowley too black to run this country. So sorry I have to be speaking like this on the African sister's platform
You were told not to travel as a single female to Trinidad and Tobago. STOP YOUR DAMN NONSENSE and drama! Again ... Sensationalism for click and views.
Try researching articles and government advisories on Trinidad and tell me what you find
Trinidad is a beautiful country with diverse ethnicity, food and beauty... however, you need to mention how dangerous it can be ... especially for females. My family is from Trinidad and I went there 2 years ago... going out at night is dangerous unless you go with a big crowd. Females are killed and raped at an extremely high rate... it's considered the 6th country in the world to being the most dangerous. It's very sad... because it was once an amazing place. Read into the country and what to beware of when going. Be safe and bless
Thank you for your comment and yes I do always encourage people to research a country before they visit and I read so many articles about it before I visited to the point I almost didn't want to visit but when I visited, took all precautions I could and avoided any areas I was advised not to, I realised the beauty that is there that most of those other articles and news don't showcase and that is the part I want to show. But I agree everyone should be alert when going and I mention the same in the video. As a solo female traveller, safety is always first. Be blessed😊
Thats 2023 crime rate were listed 6 because of reported crime not necessarily dangerous countries who crimes go unregistered are higher dont go with those internet figures
Females are killed and raped at an extremely high rate? Why don't you use the top instrument to talk and not the bottom one. Yes there is crime in Trinidad as there is in a lot of countries in the world. Looking at your profile photo I am not surprised of your exaggerated description of beautiful Trinidad &Tobago. Allyah sickening!!!
Best wishes to you in your safe part of the world
I can't understand how you can say" IT WAS ONCE AN AMAZING PLACE" like every where else in the world, we have some problems, where CRIME is concerned, to say Women are raped all the time ,that's exaggerated ,I live here and I am offended by that statement, TRINIDAD IS STILL A GREAT PLACE. I love and my country.
Tobago is lovely and peaceful 💕
But Trinidad is fuckt up that's Xi Jinping new Chinatown in Caribbean
Both Trinidad and Tobago looks so very Beautiful !!!
❤🖤💚
They are very beautiful and they have different vibes so I recommend visiting both
Any tips on where to stay and getting around to the beaches and different sceneries?
You can opt for an Airbnb
If you wish you can get a host/tour guide to take you around
The choices are Port of Spain, St Anns, St James, etc or South/Central...Chaguanas, La Romaine etc
Transport around the island is easy to most of the places you need and you could also get taxi easily. The area will depend on your budget and preference
Stop fooling the public Trinidad and Tobago is high crime. I was born in that country stop it stop it.
